A lot of times for many years, I couldn't afford a camera.
Dean FidelmanGUEST
uh, or the camera I wanted, put it that way, which was a Pentax six by seven with all the lenses.
Dean FidelmanGUEST
And turns out my friend, Charles Cole, who owned a company called five 10, which makes climbing shoes had such camera.
John RobertsHOST
I just keep going or we just going to.
John RobertsHOST
Okay, one of my other recent acquisitions, was it this year? I picked up a Rokinon 14 2.8 for Pentax mount, which is a much better wide-angle lens than my 12mm Voigtlander in LTM.
John RobertsHOST
The 12mm...
John RobertsHOST
So many different things that are quirky with it.
Alex LokesHOST
What mount are you looking at?
John RobertsHOST
Well, I use Canon FD, the Leica R, the Leica M, Nikon F, something in there.
John RobertsHOST
Pentax K because I've got the
Alex LokesHOST
LX.

And so I was like, oh, I'll just get the same one.
John ThatcherGUEST
And I think I had, like, an old Pentax film camera too.
John ThatcherGUEST
Oh, I had an Olga camera.
John ThatcherGUEST
You know, those, those really bad medium format ones.
Andy GreenHOST
But has that also coincided with – a lot more work with photography and you're on your photography side and, and, or did you do that in early age as well? Or did, or what happened with that?
Phil LovedayGUEST
So I spent, I think I said to Mike before, I spent a year gardening to save up for my first SLR camera when I was 15, Pentax K1000.
Phil LovedayGUEST
And then I gardened for another year to get my first biggish lens.
Phil LovedayGUEST
I can't remember what it was.
Jerry BurakGUEST
And he said that at the end of his season...
Jerry BurakGUEST
They pulled a 50cc Chrysler out of the bike, and they put it in a streamliner sponsored by Pentax, the camera people.

Jerry BurakGUEST
Holland is flat as a pool table.

I was a photographer in the days of film.
Dennis LittleyGUEST

Dennis LittleyGUEST
I shot fashion and landscapes and stuff.
Dennis LittleyGUEST
I trained with one of the best black and white photographers in the country, and I understood how to take pictures and what to do.
Mike EckmanHOST
They would have like one lot with a whole crap load of incredibly valuable cameras.
Mike EckmanHOST
And then there'd be like a random Pentax by itself, you know, or there would be.
Mike EckmanHOST
a crapload of Argus's all Argus together.
Mike EckmanHOST
And then there would be like one Argus and another lot.
Rick McEvoyHOST
Some Sony cameras have MR and S&Q.
Rick McEvoyHOST
And some Pentax cameras, they have SV and TAV.
Rick McEvoyHOST
Some Olympus cameras have ART.
Rick McEvoyHOST
And just going back on one there, yeah, the Sony cameras have S and Q. I've no idea what that is.
Neil SelkirkGUEST
And...
Neil SelkirkGUEST
And I wound up helping Deanne Arbus learn how to operate the first Pentax 6x7 that had arrived in the United States and which had been given to Hiro because he was Japanese.
Neil SelkirkGUEST
And he was using it and Deanne heard that he had it and asked if she could borrow it because she was trying to move from two and a quarter up to a four man.
Neil SelkirkGUEST
And it turned out to be perfect.
